Is It Time to Reconsider the Foul Out as a Performance Foul?

Recently I have been thinking that we need to update our definition of a Performance Foul to include the Foul Out. Here's our definition from the most recent NFA Glossary Post from 10-12-15:

Performance Foul: Any foul other than a personal foul (Technical, Flagrant, or Ejection)

Baltimore Hitsquad, who coined the term Performance Foul, had the initial reasoning that a Foul Out is a mere accumulation of personal fouls and not really special. But after seeing many foulers get to 5 fouls and sometimes even in the 3rd quarter and then never get that clutch 6th personal foul, I decided we should bring this up for debate.  

Here's why I think it should be reconsidered:

1. It takes skill to get that 6th foul and thus foul out

2. Your coach, not realizing the true benefits of fouling out, will bench you when you get to 5 fouls so you have to convince him to get back on the court.

3. Fouling Out in the last minute is basically as clutch as you can get in the NFA

4. Fouling Out is statistically rarer than a technical foul 

Now I understand the initial reasoning behind not including it, but I also look at it as a reward for accumulating so many fouls. 

So, what do you think? Should the Foul Out be added to the definition of a Performance Foul?
